So how do you pronounce ED-E? Is it EEE DEE-EEE or Eddy? Or is it some other way that I don't know about?

The characters in game pronounce it EEE DEE EEE, but I still call it Eddy.

And every time I hear Caesar's name said "properly" I think of a German king with a handlebar mustache and pointy helmet.

For some reason, I am inclined to pronounce it was "EDI", like in ME2. I played that game too much..

I refuse to cater to the Pixar reference, so I call it "Eee Dee Dash Eee" or else I call it "Eye Bot".

I would think EEE DEE EEE since it's most likely an abbreviation of something. But, they may have gotten clever and planned it for Eddy from the get go.

I tend to call it: What the hell are you doing robot

Or: Where the hell did you get legs to set of that damn trap robot

Well, that's because the German's derived their word for "Emperor" from the Latin "Caesar" just as the Ruskies did for their word "Tsar" which was originally "Czar", obviously derived again from "Caesar".

The thinking, in both instances, at the time was that claiming a title equal with the Roman Caesars made you more of an absolute badass though in reality these other "empires" were rubbish in comparison (to Ancient Rome).

The ironic is thing is that when these titles became in vogue a true Roman Caesar was still alive and ruling over Constantinope (until 1453, anywho). An even more interesting fact is that since the Byzantine Empire was a direct extension of the Roman Empire, and Byzantines referred to themselves as Romans (and why shouldn't they?), the Roman Senate existed as political body for nearly 2,000 years. Isn't that incredible?

I'm trying to teach myself to pronounce it Eddy but it always comes out as E-D-E in my head.

His quest is named after the old song "Eddie my Love". So I'd think his name would be pronounced "Eddie"

I call it 'Eee-Dee'. Like the the girl's name.


I also have been known to randomly throw hand grenades at it... so... I would take how I treat my eyebot friend as more of a... statement... and less of a guidine.

I call it:
